Dear Writers, Readers and Reviewers alike;

I am A. Barone (Anjirika @ ). I am 29 years old. I'm a teacher by day and a writer by night. Sounds like a superhero yes, but alas, I'm just a normal girl with big aspirations. I used to have a lot up here, but I culled a lot of my work back in 2012. My latest creation HER SECOND LIFE is my 2017 National Novel Writing Month story and I'm putting it up here to get some feedback.

I hope that you enjoy!
